Isla

Scottish Fold · Female · Young · 1 year

Isla sucht ein Zuhause, in dem sie künftig als Einzelprinzessin leben darf. Für die Scottish-Fold-Dame wünschen wir uns entweder einen geeigneten Freigängerplatz in verkehrsarmer Umgebung oder ein großzügiges Zuhause mit einer großen, zuverlässig gesicherten Terrasse beziehungsweise einem geräumigen, gut vernetzten Balkon. Bei Scottish-Fold-Katzen verursacht dieselbe Genveränderung, die für die typischen Faltohren verantwortlich ist, auch die erbliche Knorpel- und Knochenerkrankung Osteochondrodysplasie, kurz OCD. Diese kann im Laufe des Lebens zu schmerzhaften Veränderungen und Einschränkungen der Beweglichkeit führen. Interessenten müssen daher bereit sein, sich vor der Adoption ausführlich mit der Erkrankung sowie möglichen Behandlungen und Folgekosten auseinanderzusetzen und notwendige tierärztliche Kontrollen zuverlässig wahrzunehmen.

About Isla

What life with Isla looks like

Isla is a large young adult scottish fold cat waiting at Tierheim Linz in Linz.

An adult cat usually shows their personality within a week. Give them a quiet room with everything they need (food, water, litter, hiding spot) and let them choose when to explore. Don't force interaction — every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

🇦🇹Adopting from Austria

Austrian shelters follow the federal Tierschutzgesetz framework: adopters sign a Schutzvertrag (protection contract) committing to the animal's welfare. Spay/neuter, microchip, and vaccinations are included.

Frequently asked

Adopting Isla, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Isla?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Linz handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Isla on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Isla if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Linz will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Isla already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: Most cats on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Isla isn't the right fit?: Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Tierheim Linz early rather than rehoming privately; they know Isla and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?: TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (DE). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically.
